Allerston medieval manorial centre, dovecotes and 17th century gunpowder works is a scheduled ancient monument located in North Yorkshire comprising the earthwork remains of a medieval manor with associated agricultural and industrial structures. The site preserves evidence of medieval settlement and land management through its surviving dovecotes and field systems, whilst later gunpowder works of the 17th century represent the diversification of rural industrial activity during this period. The combination of medieval manorial features with post-medieval industrial remains provides archaeological evidence of continuity and economic change across several centuries of occupation and use.
